Can't Start Mailman3 Core on Fresh Install

This can happen because some configuration is done with Python modules (.py files, the configuration is Python code) where strings are *delimited* by quote marks (which are not part of the value) and some (.cfg files) are .ini-style, where all values are read as strings, and so quote marks become part of the value. The web database (mostly user information) and the mailing list database are separate (because not all Mailman installations use Postorius and HyperKitty). Are you sure you have the right user and password for the mailing list database configured in mailman.cfg? Other reasons would be in this reference: > Jul 21 04:28:44 eps mailman3[81963]: (Background on this error at: > http://sqlalche.me/e/e3q8) > I'm not sure why the access issue is happening.

Re: Response for Admins only

No. Parsing email robustly is really hard, and for many installations there would be the problem of dealing with authentication. That's why we created the REST API for administration. We will not be creating admin-oriented email interfaces, although we will continue to maintain the user-oriented subscribe/unsubscribe/owner/request mailboxes, as well as the bounces mailbox for internal use. Any information about Mailman configuration, membership, or status that is available through the web interface (Postorius) is available through the REST API. The only exceptions are related to web authentication, for which Postorius (and HyperKitty) maintain a small auxiliary database of users. Unfortunately there isn't an enumeration of endpoints available from the REST API itself, so you'll have to look at the code in mailman/src/mailman/rest to find the endpoints you want. -- University of Tsukuba　　　　　　　　　　　　 Faculty of Policy and Planning Sciences Tennodai 1-1-1, Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN tel/fax: +81-29-853-5091 turnbull(a)sk.tsukuba.ac.jp 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　https://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman 3 Ready?

It's email, there are no guarantees. I hate to say that, but that's the way it is. In particular, I'm concerned about the "iRedMail" integration, which may be a complete wildcard from my point of view. With respect to the relevant iRedMail components, I can say that Mailman 3 is perfectly happy with Postfix as MTA (it's the recommended configuration, although I use Exim4 for historical reasons), and I've been satisfied with a small-scale set of lists (about 10 active ones, with at most 20 subscribers total) using Apache+mod_swgi to host Postorius and HyperKitty. The problem would be if your friend (is that the Frank in the CC? hi, Frank!) really really wants to manage Mailman 3 through iRedAdmin -- that will get messy I suspect, and pragmatically speaking, we can't support it, we don't have the cycles. So he'd be on his own, especially since the iRedMail folks have their own bespoke mailing list manager. I would recommend avoiding iRedAdmin integration, and just using Postorius since the subscribers and non-site-admin moderators (if any) will need to use Postorius anyway. Ignoring the iRedAdmin issue, the absolute simplest is 1. Install any Linux distribution with a Docker package. 2. Install the distribution's Docker package. 3. Download and install Mailman Project's Mailman 3 container. 4. Upgrade the container manually (ie, download and reinstall) as appropriate. For reference, what I would recommend to my friends, who would give me hands-on access in emergencies: 1. Install the Debian distribution. (What I use.) 2. Pin the Mailman 3 packages to "experimental". The idea would be to get Mailman 3 upgrades as fast as possible, even at the risk of packaging issues. (My experience with default-to-experimental system for several years was that this happened at most once a year, and the three or four cases all got fixed within days.) 3. Install the Mailman 3 packages. 4. Adjust any dependencies that need non-"stable" versions. 5. Upgrade via apt or whatever occasionally. 6. When Mailman 3 is working well, downgrade the pins to a more stable level. Since you do have such a friend, there's probably a similar process that works for his distribution-of-choice. > The problem is that my MacOS users are getting tripped up by the > mangling, as it is hidden by the mail clients.

I guess we could provide a setting where reply-to goes *only* to author, instead of to author *and* list as we currently recommend. But that is going to make you (or list owners) the focus of user ire because their intended replies to list go only to author. What do you think? tl;dr The rest is me blowing off steam. :-) > The fact that the mangling will continue is a disappointment. It's a disappointment to the sane people at the IETF, too, including the rep from Yahoo!, who's a very smart lady (I may be biased, she gave me a kitten once. ;-) Yahoo! is violating the original concept (DMARC "p=reject" was supposed to be used *only* for "transactional" mail, i.e., direct private communication between a business and its clients), but I see her point: when you've had a hundred million or so address books hacked and sold to spammers, and the spammers are sending literally millions of "recommendation from a friend" spams per hour for days on end, you use the tools to hand. > I’m inclined to tell all my AOL and Yahoo users and others in the same > boat to find another email service. I know the feeling. I'm lucky in that respect: the Ministry of Education prohibits use of yahoo mailboxes at Japanese universities. (Which is a WTF of a different kind: yahoo.co.jp is a franchise, not controlled by yahoo.com, and doesn't use p=reject at least at the time MoE issued that policy.) Mail is just hard. It was designed for a "friendly network of users", not for today's rather hostile open Internet, and even if they had envisioned this in the 70s when the message format and SMTP mail transmission protocol were designed, the fundamental problem is that pretty much everyone has a genuine need, even if only occasional, to receive messages from untrusted and even unknown senders.

If you select “Discard (no notification)” from that dropdown and then click Discard, the current message will be discarded and future messages from that sender will be automatically discarded.

There is no specific cli option. A site admin can address this by creating a custom template at Mailman's var/templates/lists/LIST_ID/LC/list:user:notice:welcome.txt where LIST_ID is the desired lists ID and LC is the preferred language.

Re: Struggle on upgrading mailman3-web to new version - Not Found: /mailman//

This makes it even stranger. Removing the trailing / did not help in my case, but replacing the mailman3 for mailman in the ProxyPass line did. Would be really nice to solve this problem at the root.

User account issue after importing data from Mailman 2.x server

by dgoldsmith＠sans.org

We finally migrated from Mailman 2.x to a Mailman 3.x several months ago. We have had some issues with people who are active list members not being able to login with their user creds and when trying to use the 'Forgot Password' link to reset, being told their user account does not exist. They can submit email to the list and get copied on other list traffic. I just started looking at a user and a list in both the Postorius and Django admin web UIs and found: - in Postorius: - list exists, has 20K plus subscribed members and has 3 list owners - user exists and is subscribed to this list - in Django: - in HyperKitty section - in the Mailing lists page, the list exists, no idea about members BUT it has 147 owners (also the same 147 moderators) - in the Emails page, there are 149K plus entries - in the Profiles page, there are 147 entries - in the Accounts->Email addresses page, there are only 155 entries - in the AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION->Users page, there are 147 entries Should Mailman 3.x have created user accounts for everyone when importing the data from the old server? To correct the issue on a case by case basis, can I as a server admin do something via the web UI or CLI or do we need to remove the email address from the list and ask the person to create a new account using that address and to resubscribe to the specific list or other?

Messages not being archived

Hi I've just installed Mailman 3 using the Debian 11 package. Mailman-Version: 3.3.3 HyperKitty version 1.3.4 Postorius Version 1.3.4 The first list that I've added is receiving and sending mail okay, however the messages are not being archived.

Click on “Domain” in Postorius from the top bar, which should take you to the Domains page. For your domain (in the “Mail Host” column), see the corresponding “Web Host” column, it should look something like: lists.mailman3.org (lists.mailman3.org) (Edit) SITE_ID = 1 on a new-ish version of Postorius. If it doesn’t show the right values and instead shows “example.com” for you, click on the “Edit” link, which will take you to a page that will allow you to edit both the values. In that page, you can update “Domain name” to whatever your domain is (lists.xxx.xxx) and then “Display Name” can be anything else you want or the domain name itself. Click “Save” and then Click on “View Site” in the top right corner of the page to go back to Postorius.
